Review on BIRUGEAR UC E6 Replacement Data Cable by Michael Boyd

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cable is not transferring data

Cable is not transferring data from my D5300. The shorter Nikon D5300 cable works well. This one won't. Sent first one back, got next one, same problem. I can browse Nikon folders normally, but the computer freezes intermittently when trying to retrieve data from the camera. I cut off the EMI bead (ferrite) on the outside of the cable and now the data is 100% transferred through another USB 2.0 port on the computer, while previously it was not transferred to a USB port on the computer. I suspect a cable quality issue (probably there is a baud rate standard versus cable wrap/shield), a computer-side cable connector problem, or a ferrite bead (mostly around the cable) with too high an Ur value for the baud rates used and cable length. . Carefully examined the connector on my camera, everything is fine. At the same time, the support team quickly sent me this new cable; and was personable with questions/returns. it just doesn't work.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
